Rocket Day' - Harpoon Model Rocket

Scratch built model rocket based on the Harpoon Anti Ship Guided Missile. It was modelled using Roc Sim and made from old paper tubes and card found around the house. CG and CP where adjusted in Roc Sim but it still flew like a cruise missile. It was then I realised that is what the full size version was designed to do!! It impacted the water in the shallows and buried most of itself in the mud. Good fun. Throw away model.
